How may years does one need to continue with his first sponsor in Qatar before sponsorship can be transferred? The current sponsor provides NOC. Is the criteria 1 year or 2 years. Pls advise.Thanks

Tinker.....not recently, but never heard of any change in the law. You may be right as nobody gets informed of any change in the rules here :)

Tinker...I changed my sponsorship from my first sponsor right after one year. There were no special circumstances involved, so I suppose, its one year. Two years ban is mostly for those whose visa has been cancelled.

normally it's 2 years. Could be 1, in certain circumstances and on the exceptional bases.

Its great that you have NOC. You can transfer your sponsorship after one year.

Thank you for the input. I have some clarity now. There were contradictory views when I checked; some said for the first transfer one has to wait for 2 years with first sponspor even if he gives NOC, some said one year is fine provided NOC is there etc.

Thanks again

Sponshorship change doesn't matter if its 1 or 2 years.

Coz if your current sponsor/employer won't give you an NOC (No Objection Certification), you can't change sponsorship...UNLESS it'll a transfer to a family/husband/wife visa.
